Shannon's Pet-Sitting received the only Business Approval that includes Humane Treatment of Animals, Cleanliness and Safety of Facility AND Ethical Business Practices of the Owner and Employees.

Carpentersville, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/27/2012 -- The American Pet Association was founded in 1991. The goal is to provide education and services that result in more humane treatment of companion animals in the homes and back yards of the average American.

A great addition to the APA in 2010, and the pet community in whole, is their Business and Product Approval Departments. Pet Owners asked, What products can I trust? What businesses are going to treat my pet properly? What businesses are reputable?

- Business Approval is designed to allow pet owners to know, nation wide, not only which pet businesses they can trust their pets with, but which businesses use ethical, safe and fair business practices.
- Product Approval allows pet owners to know at a glance which product is not only safe and effective for their pets, but that they will not be wasting their hard earned money on a product that is ineffective.

Shannon's Pet-Sitting ( http://www.shannonspetsitting.net ) of Carpentersville, IL was one of the first businesses to receive this accreditation and has been with the APA since October 2009. Owner Shannon Cole, was awarded the prestigious APA 5 Star Approval and to date is the only pet business in the state of Illinois to hold this accreditation. Her membership packet is the one featured on the APA's website.

"There are more businesses and products than ever and it is hard to know as a pet owner who to trust. With APA Approved, you know the business or product you use is committed to a higher standard and you can use them with confidence" - American Pet Association

One customer reported about Shannon's Pet Sitting ( http://www.shannonspetsitting.net ), "Shannon's been taking care of my cats for years. I've always been happy with her service, but didn't think much about it. This Thanksgiving however, my kitty got sick two days before I was supposed to go away! She had to stay in the hospital for a couple of days and would be ready to come home the day I left! I called Shannon and she took care of everything. including my worries!! She picked Connie up from the hospital (which was a half hour away), brought her home, made sure she was alright, administered her medicine AND kept me updated the whole time. All this at her busiest time of the year! Because of Shannon I was able to go home without to much guilt, and know that my kitty was in very good hands! I unconditionally recommend Shannon!

"We needed to head out of town for a memorial service and hated the thought of sending our two little pups to a kennel. Shannon came to our home for a meet and greet and we knew right away she would be perfect. Her love for animals was evident as soon as we met her. She went out of her way to make sure we would not worry about our furry friends while we were away from home. Shannon updated us with text messages and even sent pictures! We have since hired Shannon for some stop by visits when work schedules were hectic. We will plan future trips, whenever possible, around Shanon's schedule to make sure we can enjoy our time away with no worries."
